ABCB1 is located in the cellular membrane, adopting an inward-facing "V-shaped" structure. Since the hydrophobic substrates are hydrophobic and can partition into the lipid bilayer, research suggests that substrate enters ABCB1 through two portals within the lipid bilayer.<ref name="Aller" /> When a substrate binds to the binding site, a conformational change causes the protein to open to the outside of the cell, releasing the substrate. ATP is then hydrolyzed to re-induce the inward-facing conformation in preparation for the binding of another substrate compound from the bilayer.<ref>Chufan, E. E., Sim, H. M., & Ambudkar, S. V. (2014). Chapter Three – Molecular Basis of the Polyspecificity of P-Glycoprotein (ABCB1): Recent Biochemical and Structural Studies.

As mentioned previously, ABCB1 is located in the liver, kidney, adrenal gland, intestine, BBB, placenta, blood-testis barrier, and blood-ovarian barriers. Furthermore, ABCB1 is overexpressed in tumor cells. The presence of of ABCB1 in these locations prevents the entry of toxins into the cells, but also prevents the accumulation of therapeutic drugs. For the BBB, this protein prevents the entry of many psychotherapeutic drugs.
